more Microsoft propaganda. it's nothing more than a push to get you to buy a new operating system. I've tried vista, Iv'e tried windows 7.

every time, I end up going back to XP. It's just too stable and fast.

sooner or later they will win though. When manufacturers stop developing drivers for XP, I'll switch. Until then, MS can keep pushing, I don't care. I'll start running ubuntu before I pay 300 bucks for an OS.

I think the EXACT press release was run about five years ago when Vista came out.

And while I agree with you on XP, if it weren't for the lack of Internet support, NT patch 5 was the most absolutely rock stable operating system Microscam ever produced. I still miss it (like when I try to kill off a misbehaving program).

BINGO!! Enuff’ of the MS propaganda. I will still and buy XP machines UNTIL MS quits sending me updates. I dont like being dictated by MS to buy their products. W7 is a DRM machine and they couldn’t even get their compatibility updates right. I have BOTH XP and W7, and prefer XP.

I paid $30. Love it, and I love Linux as well. W7 has kept me away from my PCLinuxOS 2010....

I recently purchased (like, last week) a quad-core 64 bit machine for $360 shipped with W7 pre-installed.
